Today is a very sad day.
I learned yesterday at 8pm that my dear friend Lauren passed away on Thursday morning @ 8:05am.
I learned yesterday at 8pm that my dear friend Lauren passed away on Thursday morning @ 8:05am.
As I stated on Monday's post; nothing
upsets and pisses me off more than a child losing their life to something like
Cancer. Lauren had carried herself for a long time with this terrible disease. Not
only her, but thousands if not millions of children are effected. I do not
understand why. I cannot comprehend the meaning behind it. However, I do know
that all of the children in the past are now surrounding Lauren in a ceremony
of love, overwhelming happiness, as God hands her her very well earned golden
angel wings.
I feel deep in my heart that Lauren, and a
very select few have been given these golden wings as a sign of love, as they
are the leaders of their time. They are the teachers that have left this earth
so early yet have taught us all a lot about ourselves, our lives, and our
family. They have taught us more than any of our grade school teachers,
parents, or even grandparents combined. The simple love and affection,
leadership, and bravery are what are so awe inspiring.
Lauren has affected me in such a huge way
over the past few years. Not only because of the awareness she brought to the
table, but because she was so kind hearted. I remember just seeing images of
all the cool things that she has done over the past year, which most people
have never done in their 70 years on this earth. Lauren has been a huge
inspiration. She has been a tremendous teacher. Yet, she has been one of the
biggest leaders of my life. At only 16, it’s hard to believe that so much can
be learned from her in such little time.
As stated before, her legacy lives on with me. She is held so high
in my heart and mind that I will never forget the things she has taught me. I
hope that her family realizes that she has been a huge part not only in my
life, but in everyone’s lives. Team Lola is more than a group of people who
shared the story and legacy of Lola, but it is a family who on this day are in mourning
of one of the single greatest leader of our generation.
Lauren “Lola” Scott Chiodo’s legacy will forever live on in my
heart, and the heart of Thousands. I promised her, her mother and her family
that I will continue to drive the force that is Team Lola. I will continue to
be involved in the awareness of Pediatric Cancer. And most importantly, we will
all "Stay Strong", “love each other to the moon and back” and “Love Like Lola!”Rest In Paradise my dear Lola, gone from us so early, but will never be forgotten!
